from the apex to the upper median nervule; distal margin blackish with green internerval spots, a black spot 
at the anal angle; transverse lines dark brown, witli traces of dents. Hindwing blackish-brown. Expanse of 
wings: 36 mm. French Guiana. 
D. surmamensis Mschlr. has red-brown forewings, dusted with olive green at the costal margin, in 
the cell, subterminally, and narrowly at the inner margin; both the transverse lines single, the posterior one 
dentate, the anterior one only curved; black and white dots behind the distal line on the veins; a large greenish- 
white reniform macula at the cell-end is centred brown and finely surrounded with black; the undulate line 
replaced by scalariform black streaks and black double dots above each other before the margin. Hindwing 
brown, fringe yellowish-white. Surinam. 
D. princeps Schs. is a larger species with yellowish-green forewings, with a dark oblique shadow 
from the base of the cell to the inner margin which is confluent here with the fine antemedian line; a dark 
green oblique shadow extends from the centre of the costal margin almost to the anal angle, greenish-white 
postmedian vein-spots are between small dark spots; a dark veined shadow is subterminal. Hindwing yellowish- 
wdiite. Expanse of wings: 45 mm. Costa Rica. 
D. paranensis Schs. (150 k). Forewing greyish-white, the first two thirds of the costal margin and 
the base of the inner margin darker grey, with a green oblique shadow from the base of the costal margin 
to the centre of the inner margin and the anal angle; distal margin greenish with black ends of the veins. 
The apical third of the costal margin is broadly bluish-green, double transverse lines are partly traceable. 
Hindwing white, brown at the costal margin with the beginnings of white transverse lines, inner margin and 
distal margin narrowly brown. Brazil (Castro, Parana). 
D. arpi Dogn. (150 i) is similar, larger, the whole basal third beautifully bluish-green, distally bordered 
by the median line, which is only visible in the lower half, and traversed by the strongly dentate black anterior 
transverse line; the double dentate postmedian and subterminal lines are more distinct than in -paranensis. 
The white hindwing shows pink hair at the inner margin and is strewn with greyish-brown at the distal margin. 
Expanse of wings: 42 mm. Brazil (Novo Friburgo). 
D. grads Schs. Forewing moss-green in the basal half, strewn with blackish as far as the reddish- 
brown base of the inner margin and below the cell, bordered by the dark antemedian line which forms 3 distal 
arches and is followed by 2 fine black median lines divergent at the costal margin; the cell-end is reddish- 
brown, below it a dark brown shadowy stripe bordered with green above and below extends to the anal angle; 
the apical third of the costal margin is violettish-white, strewn with green, the distal margin below it 
lilac brown with black veins. Hindwing whitish, brown at the costal margin, separated from the grey apex 
by 2 short dark lines, inner margin and distal margin shaded with brown. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. French 
Guiana. 
D. epona Schs. Forewing greyish-green with a large grey area from the centre of the costal margin 
to the apex near to the brownish-green undulate submarginal line; anterior transverse lines indistinct, the 
posterior one dark grey, dentate, the ends of the veins brownish. Hindwing light grey with a short brown 
subapical line. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. Peru. 
D„ peralta Schs. is dull blackish-brown on the forewing with a green basal transverse line and green 
spots at the costal margin before and in the middle; an oblique dark shadow extends from the cell-end to the 
anal angle; the postmedian area behind and below the cell is lighter, the distal half of the inner margin all 
white, two small white spots parted by green are above it; distal margin darkened blackish, with a whitish- 
grey marginal line; the light brown fringe speckled darker. Hindwing dark brown with traces of a lighter 
postmedian line. Expanse of wings: 33 mm. Costa Rica. 
D. alfilis Schs. Forewing dull green mixed with brown, with a fine brownish-black inner margin, 
greyish-black behind the cell from the lower median nervule to the costal margin, with brownish-black veins 
and internerval streaks; an oval area of green strewing behind the lower cell-end with a white stripe along 
the upper median nervule; median line black, bordered with green inwards, cross-vein black in a reddish-yellow 
strigiform spot; postmedian transverse line only double white at the costal margin, darker brown postmedian 
and subterminal shadows; distal margin shaded with green before the fine black marginal line, brownish behind 
it with a darker marginal line. Hindwing blackish-brown with a feeble lighter postmedian line. Expanse of 
wings: 44 mm. Costa Rica. 
B. marusa Schs. Head and thorax reddish-yellow mixed with brown, abdomen brownish-grey, the two 
last segments whitish. Fore wing brown, costal base and centre of inner margin more reddish-yellow, the centre 
of the costal margin greenish-yellow with 3 dark lines; the very fine dark median line is double, vertical; a white 
crescent parted by red-brown is at the cross-vein, inwardly bordered by a narrow dark shadow which extends 
above vein 2 to the margin; postmedian line red-brown, distally bordered with white, an area strewn with greenish 
and yellowish-white is behind it between 3 and the costal margin as far as the apex; subterminal line likewise 
red-brown, distally bordered with white, a broad blackish-brown shadow behind it, the anal area light yellowish- 
green; a whitish postmedian area between 1 and 2. Hindwing dark brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 41 mm. 
Guatemala.
